Monasterio de Monsalud, Cistercian monastery in Córcoles, Spain

The Monsalud Monastery features three naves, a triple header church, and a chapter house that combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements.

Founded in 1141 under King Alfonso VII of Castile, the monastery received the village of Córcoles and its lands through a grant confirmed in 1169.

The monastery acted as a pilgrimage center due to the Virgin of Monsalud image, which people believed had healing properties for various ailments.

Access to the monastery requires advance reservations for both guided and independent visits, with free admission until December 31, 2024.

A fire in 1437 destroyed most of the monastery's archive, limiting the historical documentation of its early years.
